Corresmndence of the Ohio Btute Journal. Mr. Kiiitdh : I too in your weekly inane of tlio 23d i tint., that yon permit your correspond ents to (as tho Scotchman said) upeur questions at members of tho late Investigating Committee. If their report proves nothing clso, it certainly proves ono thing, by itsown innate luminousnoss, viz: that its purpose is nottodiscloeohut to conceal tho truth. There is no great adroitness in the manner in which the purpose is executed. Tho truth pressed too clearly upon their pathway, on the one hand and on tho other, to permit them to elToctimlly obliterate all traces which led in the right direction. At present my object is simply lo state one matter, nnd upon it nsk W'm. D. Morgan for an explanation. It appears, by tho report of Messrs. fepnrrow & Wright, that previous to the annual soltlomunt between thoStata and Country Treasurers, in 1855, tho Treasurer of Co- 11 m bin nn. County lind made so honvv advances tojho Htato Trensurcr, that, on settlement, $35,-077.13 was refunded to him as an over payment. This was on tlio tin duplicate of 1851. By reference to tho annual report of this same Win, D. Morgan, ns Auditor or Slate, bearing date December 81, 1855, it appears that the whole sum payable into tho Stato Treasury by the Treasu rer 01 toiumiiiiina uounly, on the annual settlement, was 30,308.70. It further appears by tho same annual report that the balance in thoTreasury November 15, 1851, was $584,1)81.00. It further appears by tho samo report that the semi-annual interest on the Slate debt, payable on the 1st of January, 1855, was $121,il20.75. This sum paid out would leavo in the Trcusury the sum of $103,300.25, applicable 10 otucr appropriations. Tins with tbo current receipts from various sources was nmple to meet any legitimate drafts upon the Treasury until tue annual pcrioa of settlement and payment ly tho County Treasurers, ami this must have been apparent to the Auditor of State. .Now, what 1 wish to have explained bv Mr. Morgan, is this: Huw did it happen that the rreasurer of Columbiana county, nn cntiro stranger, personally, to John G. Brcslin, made so largo a loan out of tho County Treasury to John (1. Breslin? At whose solicitation was it dono? Brcslin's own direct influcnco upon the Treasurer never procured it. I call it a loan. because it can have no other designation consist ently with truth ana manly speaking an ad vance under tlio statuto or 1810 it was not. That statute expressly limits tho ndvanco to a sum not exceeding the amount assessed on the dupiclato of the county forState purposes here it is nearly doubled. Hud William D.Morgan, long a citizen of Columbiana county, any agen cy in the matter? Did he know of it at tho time, and if bo, through whom did ho learn it? If he can explain, consistently with his official integrity, the evidence existing on the subject, and his character as a man of honor, ho will do so. If he cannot, he will be silent. I.NQUII1ER. Licking County, March 24, 1859. Mr. Editor: Report says that our present honest and straightforward Auditor will not consent to be a candidato for re-election. This, I believe, will be much regretted by a large por tion of the people of Ohio, and more Tmrticu lurly will it disappoint the many Republicans who have heretofore supported him, and who only want tho opportunity to again renew to him, as a public officer, thoir confidence and es teem. His administration has of late been fully passed upon by a commission from whom he could expect no mercy, yet out of their hands he comes unscathed, as does the pure gold from the crucible It is in vain that the commission throw out their insinuations. They do not, iney aare not, question his honesty nnd integrity, uur present Auditor has been called into service in a trying time. An embezzlement enrried on for several years by officers of opposite politics, and which was well known to this commis sion, broko forth to publio gaze in all its enormity during his term of ollice; yet boldly and honestly did he use his efforts to stay the oon-flugrution about to destroy our Stato credit. Yi 0 nominate Auditor Wright for a rc-eloc- tion. A. S. STATE ITEMS. An Hlstoi lo Edifice. The Aurora says that the old log-house in Zunesvillo, known as Prints' Corner, is being torn down, to give placo to a large new building, The Aurora says the cabin is one of the oldest institutions of tho city. It, wns built in, or about, tho year 1800. was then the Hotel of this neighborhood and was kept by an P.ngliBman named David Harvey. In this old house the first court of this county was held in or about the year 1802, at which time there wore very few houses in Ztinesville, and the prisoners tried by that court were locked up in a little shantce which stood opposite. across Main street, to what is now tho "Zane House,' or, ii dangerous follows, they wcrcscnt to tho jail nt Marietta. 1 he old log house was then now, and was, in thoso anciont days, considered an improvement of importance.

American.Remark of J. It. Hubbell of Delaware County, Made in tlm Howie of Repreicntatinei February 16, ino'.l on the lubject 0 ojjtcutl talarici. Tho Commhtco of tho wholo House havinir under consideration tho Bill to increase tho salaries of Stale officers and Common Picas Judgos, tho question before the committee, boing the motion to stnko out all after the enacting clause, Mr. Hubbell suid, Mit. Ciiaiiiman: I hope the motion of the gentleman from Columbiana (Mr, Ambler) to stnko out all alter the enacting clause of this bill will be agreed to by tho committee. The present compensation provided by law for our publio officers, I believe to bo ample to secure tho services oi our ablest and best citizens, in hatever public position they may bo called upon to fill by the partiality of their countrymen. Ever since tlio organization of our State Government, tho ablest and most distinguished publio men of the country have been seen in ac tive and laborious publio employments, nnd discharging their duties cheerfully and without complaint, whether the salaries were high or low. And from acaroful observation I am con vinced that these offices aro quite as likely to be filled by men of talent and integrity, with tho present salaries as they would be if tho salaries wcro increased. It is true that it would seem that the legisla ture in legislating upon this subject, in gome instances has failed to make a proper discrimination, nnd while I believe a more careful observanco of the labors and responsibilities of the executive and judicial officers should have induced a more liberal compensation in a fow instances, I believe tho present salaries more equitable and noarer right than the provisions of this bill propose to make them. An increaso of official compensation would only stimulate tho exertions of tho demagoguo, and in a scram ble for ollico among the politicians, modest merit lias a poor show or success lho history of tho political parties of the country would seem to prove that the most ao-tive and unscrupulous competitors for office, as a general rule, were tho most successful. With such the amount of money they employ to corrupt the elector nnd the offort they mnke to secure the office sought, is in proportion to the salary it pays. The argument for this bill principally relied upon by its author, (Mr. Lcete,) nnd others who advocate its passage, is that, it is necessary to increaso tho salaries of these offices to command the sorviccs of men of talent and industry. This is a very plausible but a specious argument. If I were convinced of its truth, I would cheerfully yield my objections and vote for this bill. It is said that wo must judgoof tho future from tho past. Scarcely an instanco has fallon under my observation where an office has been declined or resigned on account of tho inadequacy of tho salary. It is almost an universal rule Hint such persons as the people see proper to elect to nn office, accept it whether the salary is little or much. In the early history of the government, official salaries were much less than now, nnd then, ns now, just such persons as the people saw (it to elect, accepted the offices whether the salaries were lit tlo or great. In tho executive, judicial nnd legislative branches of the Government, the Morrows, tho Trimbles, tho Corwins and Hitch-cocks were seen nrdnously engaged in the public service, and laboring with an ability and industry seldom equaled, and never surpassed in thiB or any other Commonwealth. With them a high salary was not made a tine qua non to the acceptance of an oflice. Considerations of patriotism always furnished them with a sufficient motive to aocept an office with a reasonable salary. In fact, the comparatively low salaries paid a quarter of a century ago, commanded the best talent of the State, and I know the mem bers of this House are not willing to admit that tho patriotism of our Fathers has become ex tinct with the present generation. About nitcen years ago tho Legislature, in a paioxysm of economy and retrenchment, re duced the salaries of Common Pleas Judges to 911 JU, and the per diem of members of the Gen erol Assembly to two dollars, and this law remained unrepealed upon the statute book for several years; during which period there wns scarcely a Common Pleas judgo who resinned his commission on account of tbo inadequacy of the compensation and our Courts wore then composed of some of tho ablest judges that ever adorned the judicial bench of our Stato. I do not wish to bo understood as indorsing this legislation, but I allude to it for the purpose of silencing lorcver the clamor that high sulnnes are necessary to command the services of our best and ablest men. During the same period such men as barason Mason, C. Anthony, U. 13, Godard, B. S. Cowen, T. W. Powell and Alfred Kelley, the old wheel horso of the Stato in lceis' lation, served in ono branch or the other of the General Assembly for two dollars per day, and their legislation was marked with a degree of economy, prudence and wisdom unsurpassed in our legislative history These worthy and illustrious examples, super added to the fact that at every rctiirninit annual election there is no scarcity of candidates among our most distinguished citizens for exeoutivc. judicial and legislative offices, should satisfy gentlemen that tins argument is not true. The true rule for the Government to be guidod by in determining the salaries of publio officers, is to pay what is right and reasonable, and no more. The tendency of extravagant salaries is to encourago a strife among demagogues and bad men for the offices; and in such a contest, the unprincipled demagoguo is much more likely to be successful than nn honest man of modest morit. Salaries should not bo made so large as to make the offices sought with a view of making large pecuniary fortunes, or sought from mercenary considerations. In determining the compensation of an office wo should ascertain the qualifications to dischariro its duty, and be Kov- erned by the profits of the professions and other. occupations ot lite. Uovorned by this rule, I am well satisfied the present salaries are all they should be. Common Pleas judges now receive a salary of $ioou. At, 1110 lust (session ot this Ueneral Assembly tho number of these judges was increased about one-third, and their labors reduced in the samo proportion. This is equal to an increaseof about ono-tlurd to their compensation in tho reduction of their labors. This reinforcement of judicial force, I think, ought to satisfy these gentlemen for the present. This bill proposes to increase their salary to $'2,500. Another consideration not to be overlooked is that the incumbents of these Common Pleas Judgeships, vith rare exceptions, were anxious for the pos tion, and aro satisfied with the salary, and, so fur as I know, no lawyer has declined the position on account of the insufficiency of the com pensation. 1 am not acquainted in all parts of me ouue, dui 1 am not aware that these Judges are asuiug mr an increase or pay; if they are, my answer to them would bo that thoy are estopped from any importunity upon this subject by meir uouepiance 01 tue ollice. It is not a very unfrenuont thine for trcntle' men of the learned professions to exaggerate the emoluments of their profession, and, to gratify a feeling of pride and vanity, greatlyover-estimate the resources derived from their practice. I have known gentlemen of tho medical and legal professions to estimate their practice at from five to ton thousand dollars a year, when I knew it didn't exceed one. 1 have no objection to my brethren of the bar indulging in these innocent inflations; but I do object to their being made the basis upon which to increase the already oppressive burthens of taxation. It takes a great many ten and twenty dollar fees in a country practice tofoot up$2,000, and then deduct for bad dobtB and expenses of collectins. and your two thousand dollars is not equal to $1,500 ready cash. There are many lawyers who make more than the Common Pleas salary from their practice, and there are ouito as many just as good lawyers who don't make that sum; and those who do make it very often make it by connecting with their practice, speculations, and whilo hero and there can be found a fortunate "outside operator," tho efforts of speculators are hazardous, and frequently abortive, and quito often resorted to in the interludes of business and for the want of regular employment. The State officers on nn average are paid about $1,500 per annum, this bill proposes to make the average of these officers about $2,500 per annum. Tho present compensation is equal to tho emoluments of tho most lucrative private employments. Neither tho farmer, the merchant, nor the mccanic, make anything like tho amount of the present salaries unless they cm; ploy in their business in connection with their labor a large amount of capital. For instanco, you may tako a farmer, with an improved farm of 200 acres, with a family of threo or four grown boys, with his farm well stocked, and the old gentlcmun and all his boys may work hard all the year and if he makes a thousand dollars off from his farm and keep his stock entire upon his farm, every farmer upon this floor would say ho was doing very well. Gentlemen of talent and learning are to be found in all the private occupations of life, industriously employed, whose average income is vastly below the average amount of our official salaries. Public journulists, professors and teachers in our colleges and universities, have quite as much learning, and labor as hard, for salaries much less than are paid to public officers. It is a great mistake to suppose that all tho talent and learning of tho country are to be found in any one profession or calling. It is a fact however, deeply to be regretted, that tho most talented men of tho country are not always to be found in publio life. This can be said with reference to both lho State and Federal Governments and especially the latter. The Federal Government is controlled and administered by a party whose only object and aim is to uphold and extend the institution of slavery. Men of talent and learning will not work for slavery at any price and the consequence is that all the offices of the Federal Government, from the Cabinet Minister down to the village Postmaster, with raro exceptions, are filled with inferior and second class men. And in tho State Government where this slavery test is not applied the people do not always elect their best men. The remedy for this evil is not to increase the salaries, but in a change of the administration. The argument upon which tho gentleman from Madison (Mr. Harrison) seemed to put the most stress in favor of this bill, was that the salaries paid by the Fedoral Govern ment to her officers were so much moro liberal than tho salaries paid by the State Government, our ablest and best men declined offices in the State Government and sought offices at Wash- ngtou. It this is so, the argument proves that the salaries of the Federal officers are too much, and instead of equalizing tho salaries of the National and Stato Governments by passing this bill, those of tho NationalGovernment should be reduced. The gentleman from Madison cited the present compensation of members of Con gress insupportof his position. JNow, sir, 1 ask that gentleman if when their compensation was $8 per day instead of $3000 per year and mileage, if a seat in Congress was not considered just as desirable, and as anxi ously sought by men of ability. The able re presentative (Mr. Harlan) from the 7th DiBtnct, in which he resides, and the very distinguished member (Mr. Stanton) from tbo 8th District, in which 1 reside, were both members of Congress before the passage of the salary bill, and appar ently both as willing to Bcrve their constituency then as now; and tho same can be said with reference to other members of Congress. The aot-of Congress changing tho compensation of mem bers ot C ingress from a iier dtam to a salary would have been a very unpopular measure with the people passed nt any other time than when it was. It was quiolly passed without a single speech being made in opposition to it, at the commencement of the Presidential campaign in '56, when the wholo country was in a blaze of excitement. .North and South, and in the hubbub nnd tumultof a Presidential election the villainy of the measure was overlooked by the people. the principle of paying legislators a salary instend of a per diam is wrong, and whenever and wherever tried its operations havo been found to be impracticable. It begets hasto in legislation and early adjournments, and embar rasses the liovernment. lho members receive the same pay for a short session they do for a long one; whether the session is a month or a year the pay is the same. In 1815, Congress passed a law changing the per diem of members from six dollars per day to a salary of til teen hundred dollars, just halt the present compensation, and the measure excited universal indignation all over tho country, and at tho following Congressional election almost every member of Congress who voted for the nieasuro was dofeated for a re-eloction. Governor Throop, of New York, and a great number of the most brilliant young men of the country, were among the number borne down and crushed for tho time being by the popular fury and indignation it excited. Henry Clay was then in the hight of his power and popularity in the Lexington District, and to save his election he was driven to the desperate necessity of pledg ing himsclt tovotcfor the repeal of a law ho had himself aided in enacting, and then only escaped defeat by a meagre majority. Tho popular fury and indignation over the passngo of the salary bill of looti, would have been as great as it was in 1815, had it not been for the causes I have named. I admit the disparity in the salaries of the State and national Governments is too great. There are two ways to equalize them. One is to increase the salaries ot tho otticcs in the Mate government. Tho other is to reduce the salaries of the offices in the National government. I prefer the latter mode. 1 believe it would be more equitable and just, and lar more satisfactory to the oppressed tax-payers of the Stale, whoso servants we are, and whose will we should obey or resign. Another argument urged by the gentlemen from Madison in favor of this bill as an act of justice to the office-holder, was that the records of the Probate Ceurts would show that tho estates of office-holders in some instances were insolvent. The gentleman did not undertake to show what amount the salaries of office-holders should be to save their estates from insolvency. Ho might have found it a trouble some nnd difficult question to solvo. I had supposed office-holders were very much like othor people. There is a class of men whoso expenses always exceed their income. If they had an annual income of ten thousand dollars, they would ex pend fifteen thousand dollars. Uf course the estates of such men will bo found, at the end of tho journey of life, insolvent. AH the gold of California would not save them. With them prodigality and extravagance reign supreme In my opinion, the fower of this class of men called into the publio service the bettor for tho country. There is another class, who make quite as good officers for the public, whose prudence and economy in the management of thoir privato affairs limit their expenses to their in come, whether little or much. Such persons, with a limited and parsimonious income, will generally accumulate property. My observa tion impresses me with the belief that the amount of official salaries has but. littlo to do in making the estates of office-holders solvent or insolvent. J In a Republican Government a princely and extravagant style of living Bhould not be en couraged on the part of Government official. It destroys the principle of equality upon which all free institutions are based. The mass of people have no interest in public entertainments and toiriee givon by publio officers, and when they feel that they are taxed to defray their expense, their indifference gives wav to Bias. pcration. The history of the world shows that extravagance and prodigality on the part of Gov ernment officials and oppressive taxation will drive the people to dosperation, and finally rebellion against their Government quicker than anything else. If we deBire as legislators to inculcate among our fellow citizens s spirit of patriotism; if it is our wish to see them cultivate and cherish our free institutions and form of Government, it is our first and commanding duty todoall in our power; td make the burthens of the Oovornment ait light as possible. It has been said, in this ' discussion, that the additional taxation that the rentage of this bill would impose, would scarcely b perceptible to the tax payer. This is the argument universally used ia favor of every measure for the plunder of the treasury, and the course of taxation is ever upward and onward. It always advances and never recedes; and from the thousand and one projects presented to this General Assembly to rob and tax the people, and the earnest and eloquent manner in which they are advocated by tho members of this General Assembly, it does really seem that there was one class of our fellow-citizens unrepresented upon this floor: I mean the tax-payers. The officeholder and the office-seeker, the Government contractor and placeman, are represented upon all subjects by gentlemen of distinguished ability, but it seems that the tax-payer has no one to represent him hore. In tho present embarrassed condition of our finances, National, State and private, the present seems to me to be a very unpropitious period to increase the burthens of taxation. The Nationnl Government is in debt, the State Government is in debt, counties are in debt, townships are in debt, oities and incorporated villages are in debt, and individuals in debt. The taxation this indebtedness imposes is an incubus upon the prosperity of the country, and like a consuming cancer it is eating out and destroying the very vitnls of the commonwealth, For one, 1 cannot consent for any increase of official salaries until the indebtedness is canceled.

Corresmndence of the Ohio Btute Journal. Mr. Kiiitdh : I too in your weekly inane of tlio 23d i tint., that yon permit your correspond ents to (as tho Scotchman said) upeur questions at members of tho late Investigating Committee. If their report proves nothing clso, it certainly proves ono thing, by itsown innate luminousnoss, viz: that its purpose is nottodiscloeohut to conceal tho truth. There is no great adroitness in the manner in which the purpose is executed. Tho truth pressed too clearly upon their pathway, on the one hand and on tho other, to permit them to elToctimlly obliterate all traces which led in the right direction. At present my object is simply lo state one matter, nnd upon it nsk W'm. D. Morgan for an explanation. It appears, by tho report of Messrs. fepnrrow & Wright, that previous to the annual soltlomunt between thoStata and Country Treasurers, in 1855, tho Treasurer of Co- 11 m bin nn. County lind made so honvv advances tojho Htato Trensurcr, that, on settlement, $35,-077.13 was refunded to him as an over payment. This was on tlio tin duplicate of 1851. By reference to tho annual report of this same Win, D. Morgan, ns Auditor or Slate, bearing date December 81, 1855, it appears that the whole sum payable into tho Stato Treasury by the Treasu rer 01 toiumiiiiina uounly, on the annual settlement, was 30,308.70. It further appears by tho same annual report that the balance in thoTreasury November 15, 1851, was $584,1)81.00. It further appears by tho samo report that the semi-annual interest on the Slate debt, payable on the 1st of January, 1855, was $121,il20.75. This sum paid out would leavo in the Trcusury the sum of $103,300.25, applicable 10 otucr appropriations. Tins with tbo current receipts from various sources was nmple to meet any legitimate drafts upon the Treasury until tue annual pcrioa of settlement and payment ly tho County Treasurers, ami this must have been apparent to the Auditor of State. .Now, what 1 wish to have explained bv Mr. Morgan, is this: Huw did it happen that the rreasurer of Columbiana county, nn cntiro stranger, personally, to John G. Brcslin, made so largo a loan out of tho County Treasury to John (1. Breslin? At whose solicitation was it dono? Brcslin's own direct influcnco upon the Treasurer never procured it. I call it a loan. because it can have no other designation consist ently with truth ana manly speaking an ad vance under tlio statuto or 1810 it was not. That statute expressly limits tho ndvanco to a sum not exceeding the amount assessed on the dupiclato of the county forState purposes here it is nearly doubled. Hud William D.Morgan, long a citizen of Columbiana county, any agen cy in the matter? Did he know of it at tho time, and if bo, through whom did ho learn it? If he can explain, consistently with his official integrity, the evidence existing on the subject, and his character as a man of honor, ho will do so. If he cannot, he will be silent. I.NQUII1ER. Licking County, March 24, 1859. Mr. Editor: Report says that our present honest and straightforward Auditor will not consent to be a candidato for re-election. This, I believe, will be much regretted by a large por tion of the people of Ohio, and more Tmrticu lurly will it disappoint the many Republicans who have heretofore supported him, and who only want tho opportunity to again renew to him, as a public officer, thoir confidence and es teem. His administration has of late been fully passed upon by a commission from whom he could expect no mercy, yet out of their hands he comes unscathed, as does the pure gold from the crucible It is in vain that the commission throw out their insinuations. They do not, iney aare not, question his honesty nnd integrity, uur present Auditor has been called into service in a trying time. An embezzlement enrried on for several years by officers of opposite politics, and which was well known to this commis sion, broko forth to publio gaze in all its enormity during his term of ollice; yet boldly and honestly did he use his efforts to stay the oon-flugrution about to destroy our Stato credit.

The Aurora says that the old log-house in Zunesvillo, known as Prints' Corner, is being torn down, to give placo to a large new building, The Aurora says the cabin is one of the oldest institutions of tho city. It, wns built in, or about, tho year 1800. was then the Hotel of this neighborhood and was kept by an P.ngliBman named David Harvey. In this old house the first court of this county was held in or about the year 1802, at which time there wore very few houses in Ztinesville, and the prisoners tried by that court were locked up in a little shantce which stood opposite. across Main street, to what is now tho "Zane House,' or, ii dangerous follows, they wcrcscnt to tho jail nt Marietta. 1 he old log house was then now, and was, in thoso anciont days, considered an improvement of importance.

The llitrnesvillo Intelligencer gots oft' tho fol lowing incident of tho storm at Bellaire, on Friday last: Mr. Sullivan, tho cx-l'rcsident of the Central Ohio Hoad, was standing by a new building, and when the rain commenced falling picked up a shutter to take into the house. Just then the wind struck the shutter, which dragged the ex-rrosident along, with his coat-tail flying behind. Mr. Baggs, the partner of Sullivan, seeing that the Colonel was about to asoond, ran after him, cinight him by the ooat narrative, exclaiming, "iioiu on, loionen noid out! 1 want to have a settlement with you before you go up!"

The where abouts of tbo guilty pair are at present unknown. Tho shock proved too great for tho enfeebled husband, and doath relieved him from his sufferings the succeeding nieht.

American.Remark of J. It. Hubbell of Delaware County, Made in tlm Howie of Repreicntatinei February 16, ino'.l on the lubject 0 ojjtcutl talarici. Tho Commhtco of tho wholo House havinir under consideration tho Bill to increase tho salaries of Stale officers and Common Picas Judgos, tho question before the committee, boing the motion to stnko out all after the enacting clause, Mr. Hubbell suid, Mit. Ciiaiiiman: I hope the motion of the gentleman from Columbiana (Mr, Ambler) to stnko out all alter the enacting clause of this bill will be agreed to by tho committee. The present compensation provided by law for our publio officers, I believe to bo ample to secure tho services oi our ablest and best citizens, in hatever public position they may bo called upon to fill by the partiality of their countrymen. Ever since tlio organization of our State Government, tho ablest and most distinguished publio men of the country have been seen in ac tive and laborious publio employments, nnd discharging their duties cheerfully and without complaint, whether the salaries were high or low. And from acaroful observation I am con vinced that these offices aro quite as likely to be filled by men of talent and integrity, with tho present salaries as they would be if tho salaries wcro increased. It is true that it would seem that the legisla ture in legislating upon this subject, in gome instances has failed to make a proper discrimination, nnd while I believe a more careful observanco of the labors and responsibilities of the executive and judicial officers should have induced a more liberal compensation in a fow instances, I believe tho present salaries more equitable and noarer right than the provisions of this bill propose to make them. An increaso of official compensation would only stimulate tho exertions of tho demagoguo, and in a scram ble for ollico among the politicians, modest merit lias a poor show or success lho history of tho political parties of the country would seem to prove that the most ao-tive and unscrupulous competitors for office, as a general rule, were tho most successful. With such the amount of money they employ to corrupt the elector nnd the offort they mnke to secure the office sought, is in proportion to the salary it pays. The argument for this bill principally relied upon by its author, (Mr. Lcete,) nnd others who advocate its passage, is that, it is necessary to increaso tho salaries of these offices to command the sorviccs of men of talent and industry. This is a very plausible but a specious argument. If I were convinced of its truth, I would cheerfully yield my objections and vote for this bill. It is said that wo must judgoof tho future from tho past. Scarcely an instanco has fallon under my observation where an office has been declined or resigned on account of tho inadequacy of tho salary. It is almost an universal rule Hint such persons as the people see proper to elect to nn office, accept it whether the salary is little or much. In the early history of the government, official salaries were much less than now, nnd then, ns now, just such persons as the people saw (it to elect, accepted the offices whether the salaries were lit tlo or great. In tho executive, judicial nnd legislative branches of the Government, the Morrows, tho Trimbles, tho Corwins and Hitch-cocks were seen nrdnously engaged in the public service, and laboring with an ability and industry seldom equaled, and never surpassed in thiB or any other Commonwealth. With them a high salary was not made a tine qua non to the acceptance of an oflice. Considerations of patriotism always furnished them with a sufficient motive to aocept an office with a reasonable salary. In fact, the comparatively low salaries paid a quarter of a century ago, commanded the best talent of the State, and I know the mem bers of this House are not willing to admit that tho patriotism of our Fathers has become ex tinct with the present generation. About nitcen years ago tho Legislature, in a paioxysm of economy and retrenchment, re duced the salaries of Common Pleas Judges to 911 JU, and the per diem of members of the Gen erol Assembly to two dollars, and this law remained unrepealed upon the statute book for several years; during which period there wns scarcely a Common Pleas judgo who resinned his commission on account of tbo inadequacy of the compensation and our Courts wore then composed of some of tho ablest judges that ever adorned the judicial bench of our Stato. I do not wish to bo understood as indorsing this legislation, but I allude to it for the purpose of silencing lorcver the clamor that high sulnnes are necessary to command the services of our best and ablest men. During the same period such men as barason Mason, C. Anthony, U. 13, Godard, B. S. Cowen, T. W. Powell and Alfred Kelley, the old wheel horso of the Stato in lceis' lation, served in ono branch or the other of the General Assembly for two dollars per day, and their legislation was marked with a degree of economy, prudence and wisdom unsurpassed in our legislative history These worthy and illustrious examples, super added to the fact that at every rctiirninit annual election there is no scarcity of candidates among our most distinguished citizens for exeoutivc. judicial and legislative offices, should satisfy gentlemen that tins argument is not true. The true rule for the Government to be guidod by in determining the salaries of publio officers, is to pay what is right and reasonable, and no more. The tendency of extravagant salaries is to encourago a strife among demagogues and bad men for the offices; and in such a contest, the unprincipled demagoguo is much more likely to be successful than nn honest man of modest morit. Salaries should not bo made so large as to make the offices sought with a view of making large pecuniary fortunes, or sought from mercenary considerations. In determining the compensation of an office wo should ascertain the qualifications to dischariro its duty, and be Kov- erned by the profits of the professions and other. occupations ot lite. Uovorned by this rule, I am well satisfied the present salaries are all they should be. Common Pleas judges now receive a salary of $ioou. At, 1110 lust (session ot this Ueneral Assembly tho number of these judges was increased about one-third, and their labors reduced in the samo proportion. This is equal to an increaseof about ono-tlurd to their compensation in tho reduction of their labors. This reinforcement of judicial force, I think, ought to satisfy these gentlemen for the present. This bill proposes to increase their salary to $'2,500. Another consideration not to be overlooked is that the incumbents of these Common Pleas Judgeships, vith rare exceptions, were anxious for the pos tion, and aro satisfied with the salary, and, so fur as I know, no lawyer has declined the position on account of the insufficiency of the com pensation. 1 am not acquainted in all parts of me ouue, dui 1 am not aware that these Judges are asuiug mr an increase or pay; if they are, my answer to them would bo that thoy are estopped from any importunity upon this subject by meir uouepiance 01 tue ollice. It is not a very unfrenuont thine for trcntle' men of the learned professions to exaggerate the emoluments of their profession, and, to gratify a feeling of pride and vanity, greatlyover-estimate the resources derived from their practice. I have known gentlemen of tho medical and legal professions to estimate their practice at from five to ton thousand dollars a year, when I knew it didn't exceed one. 1 have no objection to my brethren of the bar indulging in these innocent inflations; but I do object to their being made the basis upon which to increase the already oppressive burthens of taxation. It takes a great many ten and twenty dollar fees in a country practice tofoot up$2,000, and then deduct for bad dobtB and expenses of collectins. and your two thousand dollars is not equal to $1,500 ready cash. There are many lawyers who make more than the Common Pleas salary from their practice, and there are ouito as many just as good lawyers who don't make that sum; and those who do make it very often make it by connecting with their practice, speculations, and whilo hero and there can be found a fortunate "outside operator," tho efforts of speculators are hazardous, and frequently abortive, and quito often resorted to in the interludes of business and for the want of regular employment. The State officers on nn average are paid about $1,500 per annum, this bill proposes to make the average of these officers about $2,500 per annum. Tho present compensation is equal to tho emoluments of tho most lucrative private employments. Neither tho farmer, the merchant, nor the mccanic, make anything like tho amount of the present salaries unless they cm; ploy in their business in connection with their labor a large amount of capital. For instanco, you may tako a farmer, with an improved farm of 200 acres, with a family of threo or four grown boys, with his farm well stocked, and the old gentlcmun and all his boys may work hard all the year and if he makes a thousand dollars off from his farm and keep his stock entire upon his farm, every farmer upon this floor would say ho was doing very well. Gentlemen of talent and learning are to be found in all the private occupations of life, industriously employed, whose average income is vastly below the average amount of our official salaries. Public journulists, professors and teachers in our colleges and universities, have quite as much learning, and labor as hard, for salaries much less than are paid to public officers. It is a great mistake to suppose that all tho talent and learning of tho country are to be found in any one profession or calling. It is a fact however, deeply to be regretted, that tho most talented men of tho country are not always to be found in publio life. This can be said with reference to both lho State and Federal Governments and especially the latter. The Federal Government is controlled and administered by a party whose only object and aim is to uphold and extend the institution of slavery. Men of talent and learning will not work for slavery at any price and the consequence is that all the offices of the Federal Government, from the Cabinet Minister down to the village Postmaster, with raro exceptions, are filled with inferior and second class men. And in tho State Government where this slavery test is not applied the people do not always elect their best men. The remedy for this evil is not to increase the salaries, but in a change of the administration. The argument upon which tho gentleman from Madison (Mr. Harrison) seemed to put the most stress in favor of this bill, was that the salaries paid by the Fedoral Govern ment to her officers were so much moro liberal than tho salaries paid by the State Government, our ablest and best men declined offices in the State Government and sought offices at Wash- ngtou. It this is so, the argument proves that the salaries of the Federal officers are too much, and instead of equalizing tho salaries of the National and Stato Governments by passing this bill, those of tho NationalGovernment should be reduced. The gentleman from Madison cited the present compensation of members of Con gress insupportof his position. JNow, sir, 1 ask that gentleman if when their compensation was $8 per day instead of $3000 per year and mileage, if a seat in Congress was not considered just as desirable, and as anxi ously sought by men of ability. The able re presentative (Mr. Harlan) from the 7th DiBtnct, in which he resides, and the very distinguished member (Mr. Stanton) from tbo 8th District, in which 1 reside, were both members of Congress before the passage of the salary bill, and appar ently both as willing to Bcrve their constituency then as now; and tho same can be said with reference to other members of Congress. The aot-of Congress changing tho compensation of mem bers ot C ingress from a iier dtam to a salary would have been a very unpopular measure with the people passed nt any other time than when it was. It was quiolly passed without a single speech being made in opposition to it, at the commencement of the Presidential campaign in '56, when the wholo country was in a blaze of excitement. .North and South, and in the hubbub nnd tumultof a Presidential election the villainy of the measure was overlooked by the people. the principle of paying legislators a salary instend of a per diam is wrong, and whenever and wherever tried its operations havo been found to be impracticable. It begets hasto in legislation and early adjournments, and embar rasses the liovernment. lho members receive the same pay for a short session they do for a long one; whether the session is a month or a year the pay is the same. In 1815, Congress passed a law changing the per diem of members from six dollars per day to a salary of til teen hundred dollars, just halt the present compensation, and the measure excited universal indignation all over tho country, and at tho following Congressional election almost every member of Congress who voted for the nieasuro was dofeated for a re-eloction. Governor Throop, of New York, and a great number of the most brilliant young men of the country, were among the number borne down and crushed for tho time being by the popular fury and indignation it excited. Henry Clay was then in the hight of his power and popularity in the Lexington District, and to save his election he was driven to the desperate necessity of pledg ing himsclt tovotcfor the repeal of a law ho had himself aided in enacting, and then only escaped defeat by a meagre majority. Tho popular fury and indignation over the passngo of the salary bill of looti, would have been as great as it was in 1815, had it not been for the causes I have named. I admit the disparity in the salaries of the State and national Governments is too great. There are two ways to equalize them. One is to increase the salaries ot tho otticcs in the Mate government. Tho other is to reduce the salaries of the offices in the National government. I prefer the latter mode. 1 believe it would be more equitable and just, and lar more satisfactory to the oppressed tax-payers of the Stale, whoso servants we are, and whose will we should obey or resign. Another argument urged by the gentlemen from Madison in favor of this bill as an act of justice to the office-holder, was that the records of the Probate Ceurts would show that tho estates of office-holders in some instances were insolvent. The gentleman did not undertake to show what amount the salaries of office-holders should be to save their estates from insolvency. Ho might have found it a trouble some nnd difficult question to solvo. I had supposed office-holders were very much like othor people. There is a class of men whoso expenses always exceed their income. If they had an annual income of ten thousand dollars, they would ex pend fifteen thousand dollars. Uf course the estates of such men will bo found, at the end of tho journey of life, insolvent. AH the gold of California would not save them. With them prodigality and extravagance reign supreme In my opinion, the fower of this class of men called into the publio service the bettor for tho country. There is another class, who make quite as good officers for the public, whose prudence and economy in the management of thoir privato affairs limit their expenses to their in come, whether little or much. Such persons, with a limited and parsimonious income, will generally accumulate property. My observa tion impresses me with the belief that the amount of official salaries has but. littlo to do in making the estates of office-holders solvent or insolvent. J In a Republican Government a princely and extravagant style of living Bhould not be en couraged on the part of Government official. It destroys the principle of equality upon which all free institutions are based. The mass of people have no interest in public entertainments and toiriee givon by publio officers, and when they feel that they are taxed to defray their expense, their indifference gives wav to Bias. pcration. The history of the world shows that extravagance and prodigality on the part of Gov ernment officials and oppressive taxation will drive the people to dosperation, and finally rebellion against their Government quicker than anything else. If we deBire as legislators to inculcate among our fellow citizens s spirit of patriotism; if it is our wish to see them cultivate and cherish our free institutions and form of Government, it is our first and commanding duty todoall in our power; td make the burthens of the Oovornment ait light as possible. It has been said, in this ' discussion, that the additional taxation that the rentage of this bill would impose, would scarcely b perceptible to the tax payer. This is the argument universally used ia favor of every measure for the plunder of the treasury, and the course of taxation is ever upward and onward. It always advances and never recedes; and from the thousand and one projects presented to this General Assembly to rob and tax the people, and the earnest and eloquent manner in which they are advocated by tho members of this General Assembly, it does really seem that there was one class of our fellow-citizens unrepresented upon this floor: I mean the tax-payers. The officeholder and the office-seeker, the Government contractor and placeman, are represented upon all subjects by gentlemen of distinguished ability, but it seems that the tax-payer has no one to represent him hore. In tho present embarrassed condition of our finances, National, State and private, the present seems to me to be a very unpropitious period to increase the burthens of taxation. The Nationnl Government is in debt, the State Government is in debt, counties are in debt, townships are in debt, oities and incorporated villages are in debt, and individuals in debt. The taxation this indebtedness imposes is an incubus upon the prosperity of the country, and like a consuming cancer it is eating out and destroying the very vitnls of the commonwealth, For one, 1 cannot consent for any increase of official salaries until the indebtedness is canceled.
